Color Carnival 03.28

A fountain at the Corniche in Alexandria, Egypt.

I love how the blue background make green colors pop out.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Out of the Rain, "In the Moment"

A view from the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum in St. Augustine, FL. January 30, 2010.

One of the things I love about Florida is the worse weather we can expect in the winter is rain. Going out on one-day trips is still a very inviting option against the boredom and lethargy brought about by cold, overcast weekends. My friend and I drove the four-hour trip to St. Augustine from St. Pete this past weekend and had a wonderful time roaming the historic city.

Outdoor Wednesday #1 - Unexpected Opportunity

Welcome to my first Outdoor Wednesdays post!

Taken in Sonoma, California. The winery wasn't our destination, in fact. My sister and I ended up here, because she had to make a U-turn at the end of the driveway. :D She paused long enough for me to take a picture, and then we went on our merry way to Santa Rosa—well, merry enough; the GPS refused to play nice.

Monochrome Weekly #1 - The Beginning, Literally

 

I thought I'd start my Monochrome Weekly participation with a genuninely monochrome photograph straight out of the scanner. :mrgreen: That's me with my maternal great grandmother, who lived close to a hundred  with very few gray hairs. My mother's generation missed out on the gene, so I'm hoping I'll keep my black hair when I turn old and not-gray. :D


"Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see.”
